Bishops' abuse letter
NZPA

New Zealand's Catholic bishops are to respond to mounting revelations of sexual abuse with a formal letter on the subject to go to the country's Catholics this weekend. The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, John Cunneen, said he and his colleagues wanted to "speak to our people in the light of what we have come to know, especially in the last few weeks" about sexual offending by priests and brothers.
